Meet Our Team

Dr. Gary Banner

I was born and raised in Gilroy. I attended Gavilan College and San Jose State University where I studied Biological Sciences. After, I moved to Southern California where I received my dental degree from Loma Linda University in 1992. Since my father, Dr. Alden Banner, was already practicing dentistry in Gilroy for many years, I joined him in his practice in 1992.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, playing the piano and spending it with my family.

I was born and raised in Gilroy and attended local schools. I graduated from Cabrillo College Hygiene Program in 2012. I have been a member of Dr. Banner's team since 2014 when I began tempting. In my free time, I enjoy riding horses and spending time with friends and family.

Before graduating top of my class from foothill dental hygiene school in 1994, I worked as a chair side dental assistant and as an office manager.   I've covered many aspects of dentistry from children's dentistry, oral and periodontal surgery, and general dentistry.  In my spare time, I teach yoga, hike, bike and hang out with friends and family .
